The Morning After

It is the day after my Orencia infusion.  I had a new reaction last night, the jitters.  It wasn't itching or flu like symptoms, I just simply could not stay still.  Even though I was so exhausted, that it was hard to sit up, neither could I lay in bed.  After tossing and turning for an hour, I got up and watched TV.  I also finished a good.  Finally in about 3 hours, I felt like I could sleep. So  I up and ready to swim this morning.  I don't "feel" like it, but it will at least give me a real fatigue instead of just the jitters.Here's hoping and praying for a better day!

I\'ve found that Benadryl really helps the day of and the day after Orencia. Might want to give it a try next time! how long have you been on Orencia? For me, its already been 1-1/2 years!

This is only my third dose. I feel badly because everyone is pulling for me and wants me to report a great improvement. My standard answer has been ask me in 6 months. I can\'t say I see anything yet, mostly just fighting the reactions to the drug!
Can you tell a big difference?
